    Rapier Duelist

    Rapier Duelist (Inspire By Skyve)



    Hi. This is my first attempt to draft a hero so balance wise might be a bit off. Any comment or suggestion is really appreciate.

    Duelist is my favorite prestige class in NWN2 and Skyve suggestion inspire me to create my own version of duelist.

    Role
    Tank / initiator / Ganker.

    Hero Statistics
    STR: 19 (+2)
    AGI: 23 (+2.2)
    INT: 16 (+1.9)
    Attack (Melee): 23 - 27
    Attack Range: 128
    Move Speed: 295
    Attacks/Sec: 0.72
    Armor: 3.3
    The statistic is basically a clone from sand-wraith including his attack animation is also the same.


    Throw duel Challenge.
    Type: Magic
    Action: Target Entity
    Type: Enemy Units
    Range: 600
    Cast Time: 1.33 Seconds
    Cooldown: 16 Seconds
    Mana Cost: 120
    Required Levels: 1 / 3 / 5 / 7

    Activation:
    Applies Challenged to target for 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4 seconds. Any unit with Challenged active on them will be silence,perplexed and forced to attack the duelist. The duelist will gain 100% chance to block 10/20/30/40 damage from the challenged target. The damage block does not stack with HoBL.


    Parry Mode

    Action: Toggle
    Radius: 150/200/250/300
    Required Levels: 1 / 3 / 5 / 7
    Cooldown: 5/4/3/2 Seconds

    Activation:
    Applies stutter to enemy targets in radius. Applies heighten reflex, disarmed and immobilize to self.

    Stutter Effect(s)
    Attack speed Slow: 15/30/45/60

    Heighten reflex Effect
    Armor: 5 / 10 / 15 / 20
    Duelist will automatically evade and counter-attack to any attacker in 150/200/250/300 radius that has 15/12/10/8% less attack speed then him. He also automatically deflect any attack projectile that were launch outside the radius (The duelist is disarm in this mode so the counter-attack is count as a special attack just like TDL charging strike). Counter attack applies piercing strike to the attacker.


    Piercing Strike.

    Action: Passive
    The Duelist is very deadly with his rapier that which each stab he will deal a portion of damage that will ignore the enemy armor and bleed the enemy.
    Required Levels: 1 / 3 / 5 / 7

    On Attack:
    The Duelist deals 15 / 25 / 35 / 45 bonus True damage and applies bleed to enemy heroes for 3 sec.

    Bleed effect.Slowing enemy attack and movement speed the more they attack and move.Bleed inflicts initial 12 / 16 / 24 / 30% Movement Speed and 12 / 16 / 24 / 30 Attack Speed.
    Every 100 units moved while bleed will inflict an additional 12% Movement Speed slow and 12 Attack Speed Slow. It will also leave a blood trail behind the bleeding enemy hero
    Every attack performed while bleed will slow speeds by an additional 0.6 / 1.2 / 1.8 / 2.4% Movement Speed Slow and 0.6 / 1.2 / 1.8 / 2.4 Attack Speed Slow. Bleed effect stack with stutter effect. (This one really need balancing. So someone please help me.)

    This is an exclusive attack modifier.


    Flourish
    Action: Target Entity
    Type: Enemy Heroes
    Range: 300
    Cast Time: 0.1 Seconds
    Cooldown: 120 / 100 / 80 Seconds
    Mana Cost: 150
    Required Levels: 6 / 11 / 16
    Duelists can make an impressive, flashy attack with his rapier that catches their enemy off guard. This special attack deals 150/200/250 true damage with maximum effect of bleed. The target also will be disarmed for 3/4/5 sec.




    The way I see on how to built this hero is lots of armor and attack speed. This hero has poor base damage and stat gain. To make for it he has an exclusive attack modifier that deals true damage to help him dealing some damage in team fight and ganking.

    He doesn't need any damage item because in parry mode he will be disarmed (The concept in parry is he will be waiting for an enemy attack to counter it. You do not attack in parry mode. So this is why the disarmed status.)

    Item like demonic, frost-field plate and charge hammer really synergize well with him. HoBL is not recommended on him.

    He is strong against any physical damage but very vulnerable to any magic damage nukes, so building a shrunken head is core on him. Also PK is good item on him.

    You said that it is inspired by Skyve's Duelist, I can only see the "Duelist" Title similar to its, anyway good hero, bleed is a bit strong, duration should be longer but initial effect should be weaker.
    Also, bleed effect and the disarm from ulti, is counter synergic with skill 1 and 2...

    Anyway, very good hero ! I like it...
